We had an amazing time staying here with its central location to all the Keys and its peacefulness off the main islands. The little plunge pool in the back was a great supplement and extracurricular activity for the family.

Everything was pretty nice. I’m surprised that there’s fabric upholstery for the living room furniture. I would think microfiber or fake leather. Something that could be cleaned.

Thank you for your feedback—we’re glad to hear you found everything overall pretty nice. We appreciate your comment about the living room furniture as well. The upholstered pieces are professionally cleaned but we understand your preference for more easily wipeable materials like microfiber or faux leather.
